From houses to storefronts

Traditionally set in vacant houses set for demolition, Rooms To Let: CLE is using 2022 to again transform spaces in the historic Broadway E 55th neighborhood! Working with local artists and business owners the project will use adapted temporary and semi-permanent art installations to beautify retail storefronts and grass lots.

Additionally, preceding the event weekend, artists, community members, and volunteers will come together for beautification street clean-ups around the Broadway & E 55^th intersection.

We invite neighbors to join the effort as an artist or clean up volunteer. Stay tuned for announcements on the Rooms To Let: CLE Facebook page.
